Does anyone know how to change the weather city that shows up in the calendar?

First, let me just say sorry for the length, but I think this will help a lot of people if we figure it out, and although it looks long, it is a real easy read. If you are extremely HTC Pro savvy, you can probably just skip to the end and answer the questions right away.


You guys I'm sure know that when you click on a specific day in the calendar, it will give you that day’s weather forecast. Not for every single day in the month, but it gives you the current day plus the next few. My problem is that I don't know how to change which city it shows.

Here is a little background that I think you'll need to know to help solve this, since my weather is a custom city.
-My city was not one of the default cities in the list your phone initially comes with. So I did the frequently used custom tweak to add any city you want.
-So my weather tab works just fine with my city in it now.
-Also, keep in mind that I do NOT have Orlando listed as one of the cities I want to get weather updates on in my weather tab. So I just don't get what the tie is that the phone is making between Orlando and me.
-Originally, the closest city to me from the default list was Orlando Fl. This is important to know because this is the city that the phone has in the calendar.
-My guess as to why the phone lists Orlando in the calendar is because that is the closest city to me. But this would be assuming that the phone itself is determining my location by GPS, taking that location and matching it up with the closest city from the original list, and then using that one. Even though the custom tweak to add your city to the weather tab actually adds your city into the list, so you would think that the phone would recognize this when it is trying to pick a city from the list to put in the calendar, since technically my city is now in that list. So IDK.

So here are my questions:
1.) Why did the phone pick Orlando if I don't have Orlando as a selection in ANY part of the phone?
2.) And of course, how the hell do I change it? I'm really worried that this may require an extensive tweak similar to the one required to add custom cities to the weather tab. I'm hoping there is a setting I can just change, or maybe a regedit that will fix this. Hopefully since I've already done the work to have my city as part of the actual "list" of weather cities, there is a way to just pick from that list for the city you want to show up on your calendar.


Thank you so much guys. You have no idea how much I appreciate all the help I have received from this forum. I'm so damn OCD, and being able to make things exactly how I want them keeps me sane. lol

Yes, on the home tab, click the clock, which brings up the world clock, add your city to the clock, select it, then remove the other city.

That city is what shows up in the calendar.

Here is an easy way to do it. I didn't do it this way, but everyone in the thread says it worked. This basically does all the work for you.

North America Weather Database V2 Manila (9-2-09) - PPCGeeks

The way I did it, you had to download Total Commander, edit some files, find your Accuweather code for your city, download the weather app to fix it, install .Net 3.5, etc, etc. But it worked. Here is a thread that has the instructions and downloads:

Thanks. I had problems making this V2 Manila editor work with my cities. It does work great, but my cities would not show up. I finally figured out that I had to put my cities in lower case. If I used uppercase or Zip it would not work correctly. Below is an example.

EX: NAM|US|TN|morristown
